captioning funded by cbs good morning. it is tuesday, january 29, 2013. welcome to "cbs this morning." president obama heads west to back the immigration deal, and we'll show you what americans think in a new cbs news poll. only on "cbs this morning," a soldier wounded in afghanistan talks about his combat video that's been seen by millions. the boy scouts' n on gays could be history. and we'll show you why if you're a good driver you might be getting a bad deal on car insurance. we begin this morning with a look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> it is something that he has spoken about.

he has made clear his commitment to act on this early in his second term. and he is acting on it. >> president obama to make his pitch for immigration reform. >> today the president unveiling his own immigration proposals in las vegas. yesterday the group of eight senators proposing a new and wide-ranging plan for immigration reform. >> we have to work to never again face a problem with a large number of people in this country illegally. in espanol, vamiyos. >> opposition leaders have rejected a call. talks aimed at ending days of violence. >> the $50.5 billion relief bill for the victims of superstorm sandy is on its way to president obama's desk. the senate approved the aid bill yesterday. >> the boy scouts of america announced plans to reverse a national ban on gay scouts and leader. >> it was something that in this

day and age is not right. >> there is a search underway off the coast of italy for a u.s. fighter plane that has gone missing. the f-16 -- >> massachusetts democrat senator john kerry could be approved as the next secretary of state by the end of the day. >> all that -- >> one of the perks of winning a championship, meeting the president of the united states. >> tiger woods with the win in his first tournament of the season. [ applause ] >> that is embarrassing. >> and all that matters -- >> very classy, very refined video entitled "go [ bleep ] yourself." >> good luck on charlie rose, that's what i'm going to say to you. >> on "cbs this morning." >> iran's government says it launched a monkey into space and graduate back to earth. >> this is the alleged iranian space monkey. i'm thinking he didn't volunteer for the mission.

welcome to "cbs this morning." today could be a pivotal moment in the lives of 1 million people living in sfrae-- in secrecy. a cbs news poll shows a slim majority, 51%, think illegal immigrants working in the united states should be able to stay and apply for citizenship. >> the white house and bipartisan groups in congress are hoping to capitalize on that feeling. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, nora, charlie. that's right, president obama promised immigration reform four years ago, but he couldn't deliver. now the white house has an immigration bill ready to go. but they may not need it. that's because of the bipartisan effort by eight senators which pretty much gives the president what he wants. and today in las gas, the president will endorse that senate effort because it has a path to citizenship for those who are here illegally. president obama's speech in las vegas today has been long planned. but when the bipartisan group of senators announced a deal the

president could live with on monday, the white house decided to endorse their plan, hoping to speed its passage. >> this is a big deal. this is an important development. this is in keeping with the principles the president has been espousing for a long time. >> reporter: the most recent effort to get a comprehensive immigration plan passed led by president george w. bush failed in 2007. the new plan looks to both sides like good electoral politics. >> we believe this will be the year congress finally gets it done. >> reporter: that's because in the 2012 election, hispanics voted 71% for the esident. and he wants to reward them. at the same time, republicans feel the need to court them. >> we realize that there are many issues in which we think we are in agreement with our hispanic citizens. but this is a pre-eminent issue with those citizens. >> reporter: the plan would grant temporary legal status to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants if they pass a criminal background check, pay a fine and back taxes, and learn

english. they would then get in line behind those who have already gone through the legal steps. the plan also calls for increased border security and a tougher visa process. despite the bipartisanship of the so-called gang of eight, there are still hurdles in the senate. in mccain's republican caucus, some fear that the bill amounts to de facto amnesty. >> no one should expect the members of the senate are just going to rubber stamp what a group have met and decided. >> reporter: conservatives like fox news commentator sean hannety were strongly opposed to the 2007 attempt on the grounds that a path to citizenship amounted to amnesty. this time talking to one of the republican authors of the plan, he seemed more open to listening. >> i will say this, it's the most thoughtful proposal that i have heard, and you've explained it better than anybody. but the devil will be in the details. to me, i agree with you that if they don't secure the border first, there's no point.

>> reporter: there's no guarantee that this will pass the senate let alone the house where the political calculus is very different. many house members have few hispanic constituents in their districts. even so, there's also been a group meeting in the house quietly to work on their own plan. so the president today in las vegas will make the first speech in a campaign to get immigration reform accomplished quickly while he still can. nora, charlie? >> bill plante, thanks. arizona senator john mccain is a long-time advocate of immigration reform. he tried to enact his own plan in 2006, and he's one of the architects of this new deal. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> what do you say to those in your party and on talk radio that when you look closely this is simply amnesty? >> well, i hope they do look closely because border enforcement and border security is a prerequisite. and obviously that makes sense since we don't want to have a repeat again some years from now of another group of people

coming to this country illegally. so that's a precondition. we can do it, we have the technology, and we have the capabilities. second of all, people who have not committed a crime here or done something wrong will have a legal status, but they will not be able to have citizenship until they line up behind those who came here legally to get a green card on a path to citizenship. they'll pay fines, they'll pay back taxes, they will have to meet a lot of criteria. i hope that as more americans see this proposal that they will understand that we cannot have forever 11 million people living in the shadows in this country. >> senator, buzz feed is reporting this morning that the president today in las vegas will say that same sex couples should be included in this immigration reform. is that in the senate proposal, and if not, why not? >> well, it's not. it's something that, frankly, is

not of paramount importance at this time. we'll have to look at it. we'll have to gauge how the majority of congress feels. that, to me, is a red flag that, frankly, we will address in time. we need to get broad consensus over on our proposal to start with. and there are a number of very difficult issues we have to resolve. and as the critics said, we have to go to the floor of the senate, we have to debate, we have to amend. and we look forward to working with republicans and democrats on both sides of the aisle and the president. >> let me ask you about the plan that says a path to citizenship is contingent upon securing our border first. some worry that may take years in order to secure our border. how will you decide what is secure enough? >> we will have a commission made up of the most knowledgeable people including border state governors and other experts who will make

recommendations. the final decision will be made by the secretary of homeland security. the israelis just erected 440 some miles of secure fence along their border. the technology we have today with surveillance capability and detection capability and enormous technology advances that have been made, i have no doubt that if we put the right resources into it, we will be able to have a secure border. >> but there's also former governor jeb bush who wrote in an op-ed that "trying to secure the border before moving toward broader reform is," in his judgment, "shortsighted and self-defeating." >> well, all i can say is that the people who live in the southern part of my state deserve the same security that you have in your studios, and they don't. most of the drugs coming across the arizona/make border today come across the arizona border,

that come into our country, come across the arizona border. people's homes are invaded. their land is crossed by people who will are drug smugglers and ppeople smugglers. coyotes who put people in drop houses and treat them in the most ferocious fashion. it's a humanitarian issue as well as an issue that we have to control the drugs that are flowing into our country. the think the people who live in the southern part of my state deserve the same security that you have in your studio. >> senator, good to see you. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. and the senate is expected to confirm massachusetts senator john kerry today as secretary of state, succeeding hillary clinton who steps down friday. margaret brennan has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you and to charlie. and john kerry may be approved as the next secretary of state by this afternoon. he could be sworn in to office by the end of the week. the job of being america's top diplomat is nonpartisan. so senator kerry must resign his massachusetts senate seat

effective friday. there are a few technicalities before the transition. today the senate foreign relations committee which oversee the state department has to vote on the nomination. but members know kerry. he served on the committee for almost 30 years. and not a single one of the 16 members is expected to vote against him. so once they approve the full senate, can then confirm him within hours. he really didn't voice any departures from secretary clinton's views during his four-hour-long hearing last week. >> margaret, is secretary clinton -- as secretary clinton leaves office, i understand she got somewhat of a gift from president obama. >> reporter: you could call it that. a group of president obama's top political donors helped pay off some of the leftover bills from her 2008 unsuccessful bid for the presidency. this is according to campaign disclosure reports filed last week. as you know, as secretary of state she was forbidden from political fundraising. >> do we know the kinds of changes that senator kerry will

want to make when he becomes secretary of state kerry, either in terms of policy or personnel? >> reporter: it's not clear on the personnel front. there are still people waiting to hear what they'll do for a living when they show up at work monday in terms of the career foreign service folks. his inner circle is still unannounced at this point. but what we do know is on the foreign policy front, he really, to borrow a phrase from him, there is no daylight when it comes to secretary clinton's views and secretary-designate kerry's views on libya or virtually any other part of foreign policy. it was interesting, though, that he emphasized in his views economic policy is foreign policy. so he's going to focus on that a lot. >> margaret brennan, thank you. an international meeting in paris yesterday focused on the civil war in syria. delegates from more than 50 nations were there including the u.s. ambassador to syria, robert ford. this award is in paris -- clarissa ward is in paris and talked with ambassador ford. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and nora, from a very

wet and windy paris. ambassador ford was here yesterday to attend meetings between the syrian opposition and its international backers. this comes on the heels of an announcement from the white house that the u.s. will give a further $10 million in humanitarian aid to the syrian people. yesterday the syrian opposition saying the time is for action and not for words. but in an interviewer with cbs news, ambassador ford was adamant that the u.s. will not intervene directly in syria even if this conflict drags on. so are we willing to wait another two years and another 60,000 dead? >> i don't know how long it will take. we obviously, deeply regret the violence that this regime has inflicted on the people -- >> reporter: but are we doing enough to stop it? >> in a situation like this we have to work on multiple fronts. as i mentioned, we're isolating the regime, weakening the regime. we're setting the opposition up so it's ready to play its role.

and spent over $200 million in humanitarian assistance to help people stay alive through this tragedy. i've worked in the middle east for 30 years. i don't think i've ever seen people as courageous, facing the nasty, brutal dictatorships as i've seen these syrians. i also know from time and places like iraq that americans can try to help on the margins, but ultimately we have to let these societies find their own ways forward. the americans can't fix this problem. syrians have to fix this problem. >> reporter: the ambassador also said that the u.s. is working very closely with the syrian political opposition trying to help it organize itself better. essentially the u.s. strategy really focused on trying to help syrians prepare for the time after the regime falls. and the problem with that, syrian activists say, is in the meantime this brutal dictat dictatorship continues to kill its own people. >> great interviewer. clarissa ward, thank you.

and residents of one of the world's most fabled and mysterious cities are celebrating. troops from france and mali are in control of timbuktu, driving out islamic rebels tied to al qaeda. legendary north african trading post fell into rebel hands nearly a year ago. officials say as the rebels left they set fire to a library full of priceless, ancient manuscripts. police in brazil are talking to four people after the world's deadliest nightclub fire in more than a decade. thousands of people marched in a vigil last night honoring the 231 victims of sunday's fire. police say the nightclub that burned had no fire alarm, no sprinklers, no fire extinguishers, and only one exit. reports say the men being held are two co-owners of the club and two members of the band blamed for starting the fire. and it's been a boy scout policy for decades. one even upheld by the supreme court. now the national organization is reconsidering its controversial ban on gay members. jan crawford is here with the story. jan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, nora. good morning, charlie.

this would be a big change for an organization that just this past summer reaffirmed that policy. but cbs news has confirmed they could make that change in the position as early as next week. >> 52,000 boy scouts at their national jamboree -- >> reporter: with a past defined by a 100-year history, the boy scouts are facing a change that could alter its future. a change some members welcome. >> we're all excited and thrilled. >> reporter: richard meyerdirk is a member of a maryland troop that posted a message saying "we will not discriminate based on sexual orientation." the boy scouts ordered it removed. >> we just want to stand up and keep the momentum going so they do the right thing and change their membership policy. >> reporter: more than a million people have signed petitions protesting the scouts' anti-gay policy. corporate sponsors like u.p.s. and merck have stopped financial contributions. but some conservatives remain staunchly opposed to change. in a statement the family research council said "if the

board capitulates to the bullying of homosexual activists, the boy scouts' legacy of producing great leaders will become yet another kawesch tee of moral -- casualty of moral compromise." if the policy is changed, local troops would decide whether to admit gay members. >> finally the leadership is starting to listen to the voices of its members. >> reporter: in 2000, evan wolfson argued and won a supreme court case challenging the ban. >> a lot has changed in america since the 5-4 ruling in 2000. the military used to discriminate against gay people serving our country. the military no longer discriminates. americans didn't understand why gay people needed the freedom to marry. now nine states plus the district of columbia have gay couples sharing in the freedom to marry. >> reporter: now wolfson and other gay rights advocates say the changes have come about in the last decade because society's attitude toward gays also has changed and that young people in particular have no

tolerance for discrimination against gays. and charlie and nora, that group of young people, they don't understand, wolfson and others say, why anyone would discriminate. >> jan, thank you very much. time to show you some of the headlines from around the globe. britain's "telegraph" says egypt's military chief is warning the political unrest in his country could lead to the collapse of the state. some 60 people have been killed in the most recent protests. thursday marked the second anniversary of the uprising that forced hosni mubarak from power. the "los angeles times" says that earthquake experts in california are calling for an advanced earthquake warning system. it would cost $80 million, use sensors underground, and be the first of its kind in the united states. the "washington post" says a former army soldier injured in a bombing in iraq has received a rare double arm transplant. 26-year-old brennan marrocco is a service men from the wars of iraq and afghanistan that survived losing both arms and legs. he's said to be doing well after the surgery last month. >> that was my favorite story in

the papers today. i wish him well. what an amazing thing that they're trying to help our soldiers as he's a quadruple amputee and they've got new arms for him. we wish him the best. from staten island, around here. and then this story, "usa today" says tiger woods cruised to victory at torrey pines. it's his seventh win at the farmers insurance open. he finished at 14 under par with a 72 in the final round winning his 75th career title by four shots. >> some say tiger's back. "the new york times" says the new york transportation department's removing all "don't honk" signs from city streets. officials say most people ignore the warnings anyway. >> that's probably true. especially in new york. >> i hate it. hate honking. >>

there may be nothing else like it on line. a helmet cam video from

afghanistan. an american soldier wounded in a fire-fight. >> i'm hit! [ gunfire ] >> i'm hit! >> not once in my life have i ever cried out like that. and -- ever. >> why then? >> i thought i was going die. >> now that soldier sharing the life and death story only on "cbs this morning." good drivers are supposed to get a break on their car insurance, but a new study has some surprises. and as new orleans gets ready, so are we. we'll show you our setup for the super bowl and take you down for a preview of the big party right here on "cbs this morning." weight watchers online worked for us.

morning." what does war look like from a soldier's point of view? tens of millions of youtube viewers know thanks to a video taken in afghanistan that's gone viral. >> that's right. barry petersen spoke to the man who took the video and got shot in the process on an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." i'm hit! [ gunfire ] >> reporter: it has become one of the most viewed three minutes of war video ever. >> i'm hit! >> reporter: 23 million hits on youtube. a battle with taliban forces in afghanistan seen through the helmet camera of pfc ted daniels. >> hey! i'm moving down! >> reporter: it started when he purposely moved into the open, drawing fire on himself to protect the seven men in his unit. >> yo! tactically i agree it was not a sound thing to do. you know, but i also remember murphy's law of combat -- if it's stupid but works, it isn't stupid. >> reporter: then a taliban bullet hit part of his gun.

it flew out of his hand. >> i'm hit! i'm hit! it was almost like if you took an aluminum baseball bat and hit a metal pole with it. that's what my hand felt like. i was actually afraid at first to look down at my hand. i wanted to make sure i still had all my fingers and everything else. >> reporter: daniels reached for his rifle. enemy bullet exploded on the rocks. >> oh! >> reporter: sending fragments into his arm. you said you were embarrassed. why? >> yeah. >> reporter: that you yelled, that you're hit? you're hit. >> yeah. that was a vulnerable moment for me right there. i kind of pride myself on being a tough guy. not once in my life have i ever cried out like that. ever. >> reporter: why then? >> i was scared. >> reporter: his arm was peppered and bleeding, but he managed to get his rifle back. by then, other men in the unit

were also firing at the taliban. there the video stops. his camera battery goes dead. but then comes a harrowing run down the hill to rejoin his unit when the bullet came even closer. >> a round had hit the corner of my eye protection. they blew right off of my face. and i had another round skip off the side of my kevlar helmet. >> reporter: as to how the world got to see daniels' video, a mistake. he uploaded it to what he thought was a private channel on youtube. another youtube user, funker530, who collects war videos, saw it and asked if he could post it as part of his documentary of combat footage. daniels said yes. that's when the video went viral. >> i contacted him through facebook. i found him on facebook. and i said, listen, can you please take this video down, it's going to end up bringing heat on me. it's not something that i really want. please remove it. never got a reply.

>> reporter: and it's still out there? >> still there. >> reporter: so really you didn't really intend for the rest of us to see that. >> no, i did not. >> reporter: did you make a mistake when you uploaded it or -- >> obviously now i think i did. >> reporter: daniels said he violated no rules in taking the video. his commander did not specifically bar soldiers from making videos as other commanders have done. the pentagon discourages the release of videos, in part so as not to give the taliban any tactical information or propaganda tools. as for daniels, the important thing was how the battle that day ended. >> we made it. we made it. you know, we all made it out. and you know, we all made it to fight another day. it felt good. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," barry petersen ft. carson, colorado.

>> one more example of how technology shows us what war is really like. >> right. and how much interest there is in what's going on in afghanistan. that 23 million times that video has been viewed. something from the front lines. a rare glimpse of what they go through. >> absolutely. a new report claims good drivers are paying more for car insurance than bad drivers. we'll show you why. tomorrow, oscar nominee bradley cooper will talk with us. he's talking about the hit "silver linings playbook" and the role he wants next -- lance armstrong. you're watching "cbs this morning."

in driver's ed? a good driving record means lower car insurance rates. a new study claims insurers often charge safe drivers more than those who have been in accidents. bob hunter is director of insurance for the consumer federation of america which conducted the story. bob, good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> good. all right, your study seems to fly in the face of common sense. explain. >> we've been studying low-income america and the trouble they're having affording car insurance. one of the reasons we started looking at it is how do they price. we were finding that low-income people with low-income jobs and -- and less education were being charged more than even people with auto accidents that have higher income jobs and more education. and so we tested it in 12 cities with the five leading riders and found that 2/3 of the time the person with no -- no accident was paying more, sometimes as much as $2,000 more than the person with the accident. and that -- so that was -- we

confirmed what we were seeing in -- by a study. >> how did you do the test, bob? >> we actually went on the web sites of the five leading companies in 12 cities. we put in the test. we put two women with identical driving histories except one had an accident, one didn't. the one with the accident was an executive living on a certain block that had this accident but also was married and -- and owned her own home. the other woman that we were testing was single, renting, and had a low-paying job and less education. and the -- we found that the prices for the woman without the accident was always higher, 60% of the time was higher. not always. there was one company that didn't do that. but the four other companies did. >> bob, so the american

insurance institute had this to say in response to your study. they said this, "the consumer federation of america's report draws overly broad conclusions based on a tiny and unrepresentative sample of insurance policies." how do you respond to that? >> well, first of all, it's not true. we've -- the reason we found it is we've done three other studies, and we saw that all over the country in low-income zip codes, high-income zip codes. so we did this particular study to confirm what we found all over the country. so we -- we are sure that this is a true study, that the impact of factors like education, occupation, credit score, things like that are more important than your driving record for a lot of people. >> so what should be done? >> we've asked -- we're particularly concerned about low-income people who are having difficulty affording what the state requires them to purchase. and we're pointing to california

that has a low-income plan. if you're a good driver in california with low income, you can get a very low price. the highest price in that particular plan is $350 in los angeles. we're asking the other states to look and see, what are your low-income people paying. are they paying too much because of these factors that the american public has rejected as -- in research we did as unfair? these unfair, non-driving factors are driving up the rates more than accidents and tickets. are these rates unaffordable, and is that why up to 1/3 of the lower income americans have no

lee, clearly you're very close to your sisters. you describe them as your bones, your best friends, your confidante. the three of you made a pact. what is it? >> we have. watching our dad with alzheimer's, we've decided this is not the way we want to go in a lingering way where we're not sure what's going on. we have decided we'll try to figure out where the line is, recognizing that's really hard. and we've got the cocktail for how we might just sort of go to sleep and maybe not wake up. >> what is that cocktail? >> you might need to read the magazine. you want me to tell you? >> yes. >> i had to call my friend who was a physician who -- i told him i was writing a novel because -- you know, there are legal issues here, as well. >> how will you know when it's time? >> see, that's the issue. how do you know where the line is? i think as you get older, jack and i were talking about this, you probably push the line. we acknowledged that completely. we may pass the line. we may not make this happen. but what's important is having the conversation about end-of-life issues. that was the point of the article. our parents' generation didn't want to talk about it.

>> yeah. >> jack, you previously served on the board of the national alzheimer's -- >> advisory board. >> so what are the legal issues involved here if someone contemplates these end-of-life plans? >> what's difficult here, nora, is these emotional issues that we're talking about here don't necessarily intersect with the legal constraints here. the law has differentiated between end-of-life situations and quality of life situations. and it hasn't really embraced either of them in terms of the notion of assisted suicide. that's what you're talking about. with regard to end-of-life situations, you have three states in this country that have stepped forward, two by legislation, one by court decision, and said we will allow physician-assisted suicide, but limitations. within six months of dying essentially. what hasn't been embraced is the notion of, all right, how do we deal with quality of life deterioration. and the law has not accepted in any way, shape, or form somebody stepping in and helping out

somebody else to end their life because their quality of life has deteriorated so dramatically. that is an area that the law doesn't provide any assistance. >> so gray. it's different for everybody. you know, that's part -- >> and difficult. difficult for everybody. >> and that's part of what my sisters and i are talking about. what -- where was dad when he passed that line, and -- and, you know, of course complicit i not easy but teaching us to appreciate the time we have left. >> jack, you have this in your family history, too. are you concerned? is this something you thought about doing? >> my wife's side of the family, my mother-in-law, my wife's mother suffered and died from alzheimer's. grandmother. o that side of the family. and my wife and i have gotten involved in it because of that. we've had conversation. and the important thing, as lee said, you have to have conversations with other family members. have everybody have some understanding of what you're looking for and hoping for when you get to those stages of your life. they're very difficult conversations to have.

>> lee and jack, thank you. an important conversation to have certainly. it's been called america's least-remembered and most-bungled war. mo rocca will tell us everything we never knew about the war of 1812.

events have been taking place to mark the 200th anniversary of the war of 1812, the last time the u.s. defended itself against britain. it inspired the "the star spangled banner" and something else to make it unique. mo, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. if you know anything about the

war of 1812, you know it's that war that's wedged between the revolutionary war and the civil war. and you know that we won it, right? well, if you go up north to canada, they say that they won it. and honestly, i didn't even know that canada was in it. every year on louisiana's battlefield, the battle of new orleans is commemorated. many view the american victory here as the end to the war of 1812, a sprawling three-year conflict that once and for all freed the u.s. from the shackles of great britain. the british had been interfering with american trade. months before this battle, the british burned down the white house. >> fire! >> reporter: but the stars and stripes would survive the perilous fight at the battle of baltimore inspiring francis scott key to write "the star spangled banner." ♪ o say can you see >> reporter: so the british were the ones who started this all,

right? we were under attack essentially? >> we awe ourselves as that. -- we saw ourselves as that. some senators were looking for an excuse to invade canada. they're saying, well, the british seizing american ships, sailors, that gives us a right to declare war. let's go to war and take the british colonies of canada. >> reporter: we invaded canada? our oh, so nice neighbor to the north? how come i didn't learn that in school? i always was taught the war of 1812 is about the "the star spangled banner" and about americans defending ourselves against the british. >> i think one reason we don't study much about the war of 1812 is we did not succeed in taking canada. so no one wants to hear about that. it's sandwiched in between the revolutionary war which had huge figures like george washington. then the civil war which is -- a larger thing. >> reporter: the war of 1812 is like the jan brady. the awkward middle child of the three wars. historians often call the war of 1812 america's forgotten war. but across the border in

ontario, canada, well, they've got a different take. thousands are gathered here today to watch a re-enactment of the battle of queenston heights which, as everyone knows, was one of the most important battles in the war of 1812. really it was. just ask any canadian. what are school kids in canada taught about the war of 1812? >> that it was a canadian victory. we fought off the american invaders. ultimately it resulted in saving canada and creating our own canadian identity. >> reporter: okay. level with me, ranger vince. how much of this was about grabbing canada? >> that depends who you ask. the perception is we won the war of 1812 hands down. however, if you go to canada, the perception is the canadians and the british beat the americans in the war of 1812. >> reporter: in 1812, the pongz of canada included -- population of canada included many americans who left after the revolution. one of canada's national heroes is american-born laura seacord.

she trekked through the night to warn the british about the imminent american invasion. yes, she's canada's paula revere. in the end, both countries say they won the war. a kind of win-win. from an american to a canadian, happy anniversary. >> thank you very much. glad to have you here. just don't issue any proclamations. >> reporter: i promise not to invade you. >> good. thank you very much. >> reporter: and that's the latest on the war of 1812. and i promise to keep you posted on any late breaking developments in this conflict. >> mo, we all have one question -- what about the beard and not the beard? >> reporter: it was a very long shoot. [ laughter ] >> that sort of says it all. listen, i don't doubt anything that ranger vince has to say, mo. if you need more questions or information, he's got it for you. >> reporter: seriously, he is your fantasy high school history teacher. this guy knows everything. he's amazing.

>> we'll see you in new orleans? yes. join me in jackson square. >> we'll be there. up next, your
